Can't the Pentagon just NOT do it? Just fucking defy him, or sell them shit fake ones

Most of the career Defence personnel in the Pentagon with spines have already been forced out through purges.

The remaining staff are loyal to Trump, or likely have made clear they'll not risk their jobs raising any concerns or objections.

I don't think most of the US realises how fucked they are under Trump 2. This is barely 10 months in of a four year term.

Indeed... they are still thinking the military will save them because they marched poorly on the parade the Pedo President wanted... oh no, they said, they can march clockwork but did it poorly to show they are not loyal to trump... as the saying goes "the one requisite for people to believe a lie, is that they WANT to believe it"

He'll fire everyone and SCOTUS will let him do it

Okay, so let's get fired! Time to standup to this fuck. Or is it better to commit treason in the name of the baby billionaire? What would happen if he fired all the top brass? He would probably lose control of the army.

I didn't say "comply", just what the consequences would be.

These people need to be Nuremberged

fr, "but the bad guy told me to do it!" is really getting old

[–] Credibly_Human@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago

What would happen? hes already basically doing it. The answer is stooges are put in their place.

There aren't easy solutions, and the solutions most people throw up are like "What if the people I think don't care suddenly started caring".

Probably but the GOP would call it a coup and fox news would cry.

[–] falseWhite@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

So I guess it's time for a coup? Or do Americans need to be fucked even harder by daddy Trump?

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 22 hours ago

Could care less because of trump and what they let him get away with except a military coup isn't exactly progress.
